These standards help Glastonbury landowners plan and arrange for road or driveway construction. Planning includes preparing a parcel master plan, selecting and staking the proposed route, creating a site drawing, and submitting the Glastonbury Project Review Preliminary Application with all required attachments.

The application and review process with the Glastonbury Project Review Committee must be completed before construction begins.

This document establishes minimum standards and specifications for roads and driveways in Glastonbury; it is not a do-it-yourself manual. Site conditions may require specifications that exceed these minimums.

Landowners should study the referenced materials and engage qualified professionals to plan and carry out the work. Portions of this document have been superseded by the 2004 Updated Road and Driveway Standards listed above.

Subdivision approval generally involves three stages and may take a year or longer:

1. Initial GLA approval.
2. Park County review and approval.
3. Final GLA approval.

GLA approval is required both before applying to Park County and after County approval. The state family conveyance process does not eliminate these two GLA approvals.

These policies, standards, and definitions apply to new activities and proposed subdivisions after August 31, 1993. Earlier activities become subject to them only when they are included in a new subdivision application under Glastonbury requirements, the Park County Subdivision Regulations, or the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act.

Landowners are responsible for designing and developing subdivisions in accordance with these policies and standards, the Declaration of Covenants for the Community of Glastonbury, and applicable state and local laws and regulations.

Development density depends on a parcel's topography and location, as well as access, snow removal, fire protection, visual impact, and surrounding land use.

Section 6.6, Schedule of Residential Topographical Areas and Density, provides a framework for predictable neighborhood growth. Its purpose is to preserve Glastonbury's rural residential character while allowing thoughtful development that responds to individual needs and market demand.

The document generally describes single-family residential development, with the highest density set at one dwelling per four acres, allowing five dwellings on an original 20-acre parcel.

It also describes cluster development, which groups homes closer together and preserves surrounding open space. Such development may require shared drinking-water and wastewater systems.

The document attributes Glastonbury's historical five-home limit per original parcel to the number of tracts formerly permitted under the state's minor subdivision classification.

Planning a septic system includes:

• Preparing a parcel master plan.
• Selecting a site and developing a system layout.
• Obtaining percolation test results and a Park County sanitary permit.
• Submitting the Glastonbury Project Review Preliminary Application with all required attachments.

Engage an experienced contractor or consultant to assist with planning, and obtain project approval before beginning work.

For purposes of administering and enforcing this document, "mobile home" includes trailers, modular homes, and other housing substantially manufactured and assembled in a factory for transportation to a private residential site.

This definition applies regardless of whether the home was built under national HUD codes, state UBC codes, or other building codes or regulations.

Some requirements apply only to Golden Age Village and are identified accordingly. The remaining requirements apply to mobile home installations throughout Glastonbury, including Golden Age Village.

The definition of "mobile home" changed with the adoption of the Land Use Master Plan in 2007. Review that document along with the 2003 Updated Mobile Home Standards listed below.

The application and review process with the Glastonbury Project Review Committee must be completed before construction begins.

Download the Original Specifications and Standards for Mobile Homes.

Section 6.05 of the Restated Declaration of Covenants permits mobile homes in Glastonbury and establishes additional appearance and quality requirements for homes placed on individual parcels or in Golden Age Village in North Glastonbury.

Mobile homes placed before June 16, 1997, are governed by the Original Specifications and Standards for Mobile Homes, Revision 88-2, listed above.

The terms "mobile home," "mobile unit," "modular home," and "manufactured housing," as used in the Land Use Master Plan, are subject to the 2003 Updated Mobile Home Standards. Factory-built tiny homes transported to Glastonbury on wheels must meet HUD requirements and the 2003 Mobile Home Standards.

Mobile homes must:

1. Be no more than 10 years old.
2. Be at least 24 feet wide.
3. Have a pitched, shingled roof.
4. Have wood or simulated wood siding.
5. Have a foundation that includes stripped footing.
6. Be recessed into the ground.

The GLA recognizes two uses for mobile homes:

1. A permanent dwelling.
2. Temporary living quarters while a permanent home is being built.

The GLA and Project Review Committee review these uses differently.

The application and review process with the Glastonbury Project Review Committee must be completed before construction begins.

Plan for land reclamation at the beginning of every construction project. Successful restoration depends on preserving enough topsoil to support grass, shrubs, and trees.

Local topsoil is thin and valuable; subsoil, or topsoil mixed indiscriminately with subsoil, generally does not support healthy vegetation.

Before construction begins, property owners and contractors must remove and preserve topsoil from areas that will be disturbed. After construction, they must replace the topsoil and seed, mulch, and irrigate the site.

Runoff, erosion, and weeds must be controlled until healthy vegetation is reestablished.

The application and review process with the Glastonbury Project Review Committee must be completed before construction begins.

The sign guidelines establish minimum requirements for sign placement in Glastonbury under Section 6.04 of the Covenants.

The lighting guidelines establish minimum requirements for exterior lighting. Their purpose is to provide necessary illumination while limiting light pollution and preserving Glastonbury's night sky.

Fence standards are still being developed.
